Whitney-You Go Girl


This Friday February 20, 2009 Whitney has an interview to do an internship as a teacher in the schools. It is a real teaching position where she gets paid half of a teacher’s salary and gets credit for her last year of school while working and getting paid. Whitney has always been a teacher. I remember her love of Jed when he was born. She wanted to hold and care for him. I remember calling her one evening in her high school years and saying ”Where are you?”. Her answer was “Out with the boys”. “What” I responded. She had three little boys in the back of her car and taking them out for a ride and a treat---Payton, Jay and Seth. She cared for them often and from her heart. Heidi especially has been spoiled by Whitney’s loving care of always being there to care for Seth and now Emma Beth and Seth. She often spends her Saturday caring for Bode, Emma Beth, who is a nursing baby and will not take a bottle from me, and Seth. Her heart loves children.
In high school every year she chose to be in a kindergarten class helping the kids. Whitney spent more time in high school in Granite Elementary Kindergarten than Keri spend with her skies on; than Katie spent in the swimming pool, as much as Jeremy spent building warehouses with Dad and I. Through college she has spend much time with children and in the schools. Each of my kids has chosen their own area that they had excelled in for Whitney it is loving and teaching and nurturing children. It is part of her heart. Whitney, you are a teacher in your heart. As you go forward in this pursuit you are gifted and good. You have the hours of service, the love in your heart and ability to get this internship. Go forth with faith that this is something your Heavenly Father with help you with and your Dad and I will being praying for you. I know that your family that loves you and believes in you---look at how often they give you their most prized possession their children and trust you completely that you will love them and care for them and yes bless their little ones.
Jesus Christ as a young boy worked in his father’s carpentry shop. I love a great carpenter your dad. When the time came for Jesus’s real ministry on earth he was a teacher and a healer. You follow his example!
You are the most qualified for this internship of anyone I know. Go forth with assurance, do not doubt. You are always a teacher. It is not something a school degree gives to you. Whatever the outcome of this job interview----
You Go Whitney! You are Great at Teaching!
Your family is all cheering for you. 1,2,3, We love you. I love you XOXOXOXO MOM

  2. Wednesday, Whitney was told she did not get the internship. We had been praying for her to get this if it was right. Her teacher sees her outside the class crying and comes to her and says "It is so good you didn't get the internship. It is better to do the student-teaching first. She ask "Whitney are you LDS?" Whitney says yes. The teacher says "The Lord has something better for you." What a blessing that teacher was that moment. Hearing this from a teacher was the prefect way to bless Whitney's faith that blessings lie ahead in moments of hurt and sorrow. I agree Whitney is GOOD and blessings lie ahead. After the trial of your faith cometh the blessings. God loves you. You are a great teacher. You like Jesus love the children. Blessings lie ahead. You are on the right path. xoxxoxo MOM
